That is a really good question. The answer is that it depends on how recap episodes are or are not presented in the AniList api, since that is what rikka uses as her source. I suspect that recap episodes are not presented in the api, so rikka will just skip over them without making a post, and simply make a post for the next sequential episode.

I wish I had paid attention to this during Solo Leveling's recent recap episode. Thanks for putting this on my radar. This and batch releases are probably the two outstanding issues that I don't yet know a good technical solution for.
